I was inspired to try my own Oshie by a piece I had bought in Vancouver, BC. It's a Japanese art form where you use fabric to "upholster" little pieces of chipboard (with cotton batting inside), then assemble them all together into a puffy, quilt-like collage! I still had no sewing confidence at this point, but here was a way I could make something "quilty" and patchwork-y, just using scissors and glue!
My first piece: nasturtiums. I brought in a stem of them from my yard, taped it to a board in a still life, and worked from there.
